But the way ...Face builds to the chorus, only to cut to the vocals and bassline, always feels like an anti-climax to me. The way the harmonies come in is nice, and it's a memorable vocal line, but it still feels like a let-down.

Zero has a much more worthy chorus; the call and response form of it is undeniable. And the subject matter feels a lot more resonant and empowering than Weeknd's vague hedonism.

And if anything, the fact that I like Zero so much despite it's weaker production and vocals is a testament to the strength of the song. Or my poor taste.

But that Can't Feel My Face song is a tune of Kasabian-esque proportions. I actually like the bit in the chorus with little more than vocals, bass and drums. And the counterpoint harmony bit at the end.
